There is - much danger of hurting the
brain by idleness - by overwork DR..
Farquharson argues that intellectual Dow.
er 10 lessened by the listIessness in which
welLto-do claases generally spend their
lives. Under sach conditions the brain
generally loses its health, and although
equal to the demands Of routine exist
tence, Is unable to withstand the strain of
sudden emergency. So, when q load Of
work is unexpectedly thrown on it in its
unprepared state, the worst consequences
Of what may be called overwork show
Themselves. Similarly, = man accustomed
to sedentary pursuits is likely to be physi-
cally injured by taking suddenly too vio-
lent exercise.
As to the amount Of mental work that
may safely be done, DR.. Farquharson says:
$50 long as a brain worker is able to
sleep well, and to take fair proportion of
outdoor exercise, it may safely be said
that 1t Ii not necessary to impose any
special limits on the actual number of
hours which he devotes to his labors. But
when what is generally known as worry
steps in to comphcate matters, when cares
connected with family arrangements, or
with those numerous personal details
which we can seldom escape, intervene,
or when the daily occupation Of life is in
itself fertile source of anxiety. then we
find one or other of these three safeguards
broken down."-Scientifc American.

A BIT OF HISTORY.

Fort San Luis lies about one and half miles
west of Tallahassee. 1t was formerly a strong
hold of the Spanish occupation period and traces
of the ancient earthworks are still discernble
about the hill. There are romantic stories and
numerous legends connected with its history,
and it was years ago the scene Of many mysteri-
GUS diggings for hidden treasure. But these facts
in relation TO the spot belong IN another article,
which may appear in the columns Of the Neacs-
Herah in the near future.

place took possession of ii about five or six years
ago. He is the son of q wealthy wine mauufac

far frem Paris. He Is himself q practical grape
grower. was bred 10 the business, and has devo-
ted his attention to grape growing in America
for many years. Upon viewing this estate he
was at once impressed with its adaptability for
growing grapes, for 1t Is one continued success
sion of sunny, fertile slopes not unlike the vine
ward districts of France. His original purchase
comprised
FIVE HUNDRED ACRES
for which he paid price sveraging e6 per acre.
Much Of this has since bccn sold, and two OF bis
neighbors, one German and the other French
man, are already engaging IN grape culture.
They paid Mr.. Dubois as high o. 20 per acre
now for money at an advance any less than 30
per cent on the purchase price. Their faith in
iB future 10 unbounded. y..
